Description
I want to edit the scaffolding template for Blazor CRUD pages, but my changes to the template are not being reflected in the output.
I tried researching this issue, and [the closest answers I could find](https://davecallan.com/override-the-default-controller-scaffold-templates-in-visual-studio-2019-and-net-5-0/) are how to edit Razor templates, or MVC component templates. I tried following these instructions, adapting to my project (I copied the Blazor folder (C:\Users\username.nuget\packages\microsoft.visualstudio.web.codegenerators.mvc\8.0.2\Templates\Blazor) instead of Razor into a folder in my project called Templates, hierarchy shown here: )

and then I changed the header of the Create.tt file (to MudBlazor's header text) to test if it would work:
```
Create
Create was changed
<#= modelName #>
```
but I noticed upon saving, a file named Create.cs would be created in the same folder:

with the only contents being
`ErrorGeneratingOutput`
and attempting to scaffold would give an error. I tried deleting the Create.cs file, and starting again, but it seemed like it used the default template instead of my override. I then changed the template inside the installation directory(C:\Users\username.nuget\packages\microsoft.visualstudio.web.codegenerators.mvc\8.0.2\Templates\Blazor), and tried scaffolding again, but again, no changes were shown in the output. What am I doing wrong?
Not sure if this is at all relevant, but Visual studio is spitting out these errors since I copied the template into my project:
